Session: Ad Monetization Tips & Tricks!
summary
Ad revenue share climbs year over year and a mobile studio reaches $1M ad revenue by treating ads as productized features not noise. Context‑sensitive rewarded placements (daily tasks, out‑of‑moves, lobby) boost engagement while avoiding IAP cannibalization; an end‑of‑year waterfall tweak yields an 88% uplift and a single placement change drives 136% ARPU increase. Use RTB mixes (≈80% of ad revenue), split iOS on/off waterfalls, and AI eCPM prediction tools like Olo/Abser to time seasonality and floor changes.
